Frequently asked questions

What is KeebScout?

How does the keyboard finder work?

The KeebScout keyboard finder filters 124 mechanical keyboards by use case, size, budget, connectivity, and hot-swap support, then ranks the boards that match all of your answers. Results come from the same neutral spec database as every page on the site; no placement is ever paid for.

What is the difference between linear, tactile, and clicky switches?

Linear switches move straight down with no bump and suit gaming; tactile switches add a bump you can feel at the actuation point and suit typing; clicky switches add the bump plus an audible click. Silent variants of linear and tactile switches use dampened stems for quiet offices.

Is KeebScout free?
